Always wanted to know how to build scalable quantum systems? Follow the “Experimental quantum computing with superconducting qubits” lectures in the summer semester.
As we are an experimental group, willingness to work in a cryogenic lab and cleanroom environment is needed.
(BSc) Improving core superconducting components for quantum computing
Quantum tunneling through a thin barrier is fundamental to Josephson junctions (JJ) and a key element in superconducting quantum computing. Over time, the tunneling parameter can change and this limits the production yield. Understanding the cause of the parameter change is vital. This project involves automatically measuring the resistance of JJ under different conditions to gain a better understanding of this process. The result will be integrated into the fabrication of the quantum processor used in our lab.
(BSc) Superconducting Nitride Devices
This project explores the realm of superconducting nitride devices, aiming to unlock their electrical properties through precise experimental techniques conducted at ultra-low temperatures. The research focuses on systematically investigating how variations in growth parameters of ultra-thin films influence critical superconducting characteristics. By performing detailed measurements across a range of temperatures, this work seeks to establish a deeper understanding of the relationships between material fabrication methods and the resulting quantum performance metrics, ultimately advancing the optimization of devices for quantum signal processing applications.
(MSc) Developing superconducting quantum technology
Come and help us develop superconducting quantum devices to enable useful quantum computing. We focus on building devices, running gates and algorithms, and improving the quantum environment so that our devices can reach their full potential. Master projects are intimately connected to our research themes, and the topic will be tailored around your skills and interests.
